Tips for Success Cabbage Detox Soup

– Sauté aromatics gently so the onion becomes sweet but not brown. – Keep the simmer low to soften cabbage without turning it mushy. – Adjust salt near the end so you don’t over-season while reducing. – Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days or freeze for longer. – For a richer contrast, enjoy alongside a hearty option like bacon cheddar gnocchi soup on colder nights.

Variations

Here are a few easy ways to change it up: – Make it spicy: add 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeno with the aromatics. – Add protein: stir in cooked shredded chicken or canned beans before serving. – Make it creamy: blend a cup of the soup and stir it back in for a silky texture. – Add more greens: swap half the cabbage for chopped kale or spinach in the last 5 minutes.
